Nice Job on the T square. I got a wooden tool box full of old rusty tools at one of my family members yard sale. The tools belonged to her Grandfather. One of the tools is a T square very similar to yours. I have done an initial clean up and it looks much better, but I still have to find a brass thumb screw and threaded insert to make it 100%. I intend to restore the antique tool box too, to show respect for her grandfather. I've shown her pictures of the tools as I restore them and she is surprised how much they have improved! Some of the tools I love because they are tools my dad would of used when he was a young man in the 20s or when he was a machinist working on a lathe!❤
During the clip I was thinking you should fill the insect holes, but honestly, they give it character - they don't overpower the restored tool at all. And I am filing your technique away in my brain for how to restore a brass thumbscrew - often your restorations excel above those with tons of fancy power tools precisely because of your thoughtful restraint. Rock star!
That may have been a no-name sliding T-Bevel but it had the classy components of Steel, Brass and Hardwood. It appears nicely made and I like the bushings in the bore for the thumbscrew and the thumbscrew shape that compressed the handle onto the bushing to lock the blade in position of use. Wow what a nice outcome it looks like Buck Knives made that tool.
That came out great, Big Daddy Mag, Wd 40 Reduces the drag. The bugs made a hole On the way out. No toilet paper Would make them all shout. You made it look good, Shiny wood with a sheen. Quarantine is correct. Just like Covid 19. Thanks for the fun! :-)
Nice Job MagDad, you are an inspiration to me to be able to continue to restore my grandfather's and father's tools back to new, just like you and @ScoutCrafter amongst many others. Look out for my videos coming soon from my messy workshop. Thanks for the inspiration as I'm recuperating from numerous surgeries and am just making it slowly back out into the garage workshop. I will document my progress and share my journey with all who care to follow along. All the best, Pete
Wow! Thanks Pete! I told Mrs Magdad that I am an inspiration and I got the eye roll. I went over and subscribed to your channel. I'm looking forward to you sharing your projects!
Nice haul from that coworker! You really rescued that bevel! I think it looks real good! Anything that has bug holes in it I like too put it in a locking bag like you did and then keep it in the freezer for a while, I've read it will freeze the bugs to dead because YES they can stay in it for years otherwise!
I have used matching coloured wax used for furniture restoration to fill woodworm holes. Really nice case of an ugly duckling becoming a beautiful swan.
Thanks ScoutCrafter! When I first got this checked it with a magnet and thought the plates on the stock were steel because the magnet stuck on one of the pins.
Wow that turned out better than expected! Thank u for the TP humor. We need all the laughs we can get these days. I heard New Jersey was kinda locked down. U might have to retrieve that last sheet of TP. 😁
Just watched this again, what a nice looking tool even with the wood damage, you got an awesome finish using the paste wax on the handle. I have one in my to to tool resto box, it has an aluminium handle. I was wondering what it was used for, thanks for the demo MagDad!
Well done on the restoration. The wood discolouration could be sapwood. I have pieces of walnut with such colour contrasts. I did get a smile with spreading the love with a square of white gold, aka toilet paper. Dave.
That's a beautiful combination of materials. That appears to be rosewood. If it is, I'm surprised that those little dirt bag beetles made a home in it. They don't typically like rosewood due to its density. It's possible it was severely damaged from overexposure to the elements. That most likely opened the door to the parasitic beetles. Great job on the resto! One last thing; what I was told to do with wood infected with these things is put in the freezer for 2-3 freeze/thaw cycles. There's a good chance that they could survive one cycle because they might think it's part of an actual season change. Let it thaw for a couple days in a freezer bag. They'll become active just in time to get froze again in the next cycle. The refreezing should/will kill them. Good luck on future projects. 😊
I enjoyed the video, why did you not blue the blade? I'm just wondering because I clean up tools in my shop, and I need all the advice I can get... Thank you, and say hi to Chuck, and Mrs Magdad please....
I think a kind of over stain might have worked better on the wood. Also you could have used an epoxy mixed with sawdust to inject into the holes in it. It would have made it stronger too. There are treatments to kill said beetles too.
Great job. Doesn't even look like the same tool you started with. 👍👍👍
Thanks Wire! I wasn't confident the t-bevel was gonna clean up that nice when I started.

Cleaning up old tools is fun! Part of the fun is learning about their history!

Thanks Marc! I like the holes too! Like the pits in the steel, they are the tools "battle scars".
Looks fantastic! I think the beetle holes in the wood just add character.👍
The holes in the wood are like the rust pitting in the metal - the scars of life!
Man...and all these years I have been calling them dowelscrews! I kind of like the beetle marks in the wood. Great job as always!
Mrs Magdad thought my thumbscrew joke was corny.
Great job, I'm glad to see the Flitz. I loved the ending, we need a little humor to lighten things up in these times.
Thanks Ernie! I figured we could all use a laugh!
Outstanding magdad !! I couldn't even tell the wood had brass on the ends when you started!! And I think the insect holes add character...
Thanks!
Wow, wow, wow! What an amazing artist you are . . . from lemon to lemonade in a Flitz!
Thanks Tracey! I'm glad Flitz and I were able to bring this one back to life!
Great work mate. Couldn’t believe it was the same bevel. I just love the wood, steel and brass look. 🇦🇺👍
Thanks Shed Man! I had my doubts about this one when I started. I'm really happy with how well it cleaned up.
Thought it was a lost cause. Very good job. Always like wood, brass and steal. Needed the laughs. Stay healthy and safe. Thanks
Thanks Glen! I though it might be a lost cause too! Take care!
Wow amazing transformation!
Thanks man!
Looks great. I can't look at anything that is wood and brass and not think "357 would like this" 🤣👍👍
Thanks Joe! I love steel, brass and wood tools!

Thanks Michael! It's hard to beat steel, wood and brass!
You got the Trinity again 😀 I'm sure the bugs are inactive, but to be sure you could stick it in a freezer for a while 👍🏻🛠️
Thanks Armando! The bugs that where in that wood probably have kids in college by now.
I use the freezer tip on a lot of wood handled tools, better than chemicals😉
What a fantastic job. I really appreciate your attention to detail. And I share your love of the wood/brass/steel combo. Best wishes.
Thanks Ben! It's fun to try and bring basket cases like this back to life!
It did come out looking good. The insect holes give it character. Thanks
Thanks Tony. I like the holes, as long as nothing crawls out of them!
That came out great,
Big Daddy Mag,
Wd 40
Reduces the drag.
The bugs made a hole
On the way out.
No toilet paper
Would make them all shout.
You made it look good,
Shiny wood with a sheen.
Quarantine is correct.
Just like Covid 19.
Thanks for the fun! :-)
I LOVE your poems! This on is one of my favorites!

Unbelievable results thanks for posting. Loved the ending. One square. Lol.
Thanks Rusty Gun! I though we could all use a laugh!
That came out nice! Gotta love steel, brass and wood!
Thanks! My three favorite materials!
She came out beautiful!!! great job.
Thanks! I wasn't sure about this one when I started!
Awesome! I haven't seen beatle damage on tools before. Crazy! Love the one square quarantine.👍☣
Thanks Robert! I may have to retrieve that square if things get bad!
Beautiful job!!!! Very satisfying results!!! Congrats
Thanks Bruno! I wasn't sure about this one when I started!
Very nice. It looks great. The different color wood is just sap wood. The rest is heart wood.
Thanks Drew! I guess the bugs like sap wood!
It really looks nice now...it sure was beat up and rusted ..Good idea on using your thumb to sand the thumb screw lol
Thanks! I had my doubts about this one when I started!
😀 Too funny! You ALWAYS do a great job. My favorite tools are dark rosewood and brass!
Thanks Wayne! I like the exotic wood / brass combo too. I always look for those items at the sales!
Nice haul from that coworker! You really rescued that bevel! I think it looks real good!
Anything that has bug holes in it I like too put it in a locking bag like you did and then keep it in the freezer for a while, I've read it will freeze the bugs to dead because YES they can stay in it for years otherwise!
Thanks Alex! I might try the freezer trick!
I have used matching coloured wax used for furniture restoration to fill woodworm holes. Really nice case of an ugly duckling becoming a beautiful swan.
Thanks for the tip Tony! I was gonna try to squirt some super glue in the holes, but I decided to leave them for "character".
Awesome job! I hate insect damage! Joe just had to throw out a bunch of nice wood because of it... I always love the look of steel pins in Brass! 😃👍
Thanks ScoutCrafter! When I first got this checked it with a magnet and thought the plates on the stock were steel because the magnet stuck on one of the pins.
Wow that turned out better than expected! Thank u for the TP humor. We need all the laughs we can get these days. I heard New Jersey was kinda locked down. U might have to retrieve that last sheet of TP. 😁
Thanks James! We're just gonna go outside and rub our butts in the lawn!
Just watched this again, what a nice looking tool even with the wood damage, you got an awesome finish using the paste wax on the handle.
I have one in my to to tool resto box, it has an aluminium handle. I was wondering what it was used for, thanks for the demo MagDad!
Thanks for watching again!
Came out great! You always take a tool and make it look band new.👍
Thanks Frank! It's fun trying to bring basket cases like this back to life!
Nice job Magdad!
Thanks Dog!
Minwax makes a dye marker that you can darken that bug area. Once it drys just seal it with another coat of tung oil. The project turned out great
Thanks for the tip!
Well done on the restoration. The wood discolouration could be sapwood. I have pieces of walnut with such colour contrasts.
I did get a smile with spreading the love with a square of white gold, aka toilet paper.
Dave.
Thanks Dave! If it gets really bad I may have to retrieve that square!
THANK YOU...for sharing. Now that was funny. Great job on the T-Bevel.
Thanks! I figured we could all use a laugh!
Beautiful job MagDad 👍
Thanks Sparky!
Awesome. I love the finish you got. Hey that toilet appear is worth more than the square 😂😂😂
I had to give the piece of toilet paper back to Mrs Magdad after filming!

Luckily the bugs were gone and just their holes remained. I'll keep the freezer trick in mind if I come across another infested project!
My late father had one of those so thanks for the memories 👍
Thanks Nash! I wish I had all of the tools my dad had!
Looks Beee.... oooooo..... teeee...full. Nice job!
Thanks Bill!
Excelenta tecnica del uso de abrasivos. Buen trabajo
Thank you!
Beautiful result. I have to bugout!!
Thanks John!
Great restore on a junk item. Put Brass, steel, and wood in your hands and you are in your element.
Thanks John! I get a kick out of trying to restore the basket cases!
Nice!
Thanks!
Better safe than sorry it came out nice gives me a idea 8n old wool working tools

Just a beautiful job!
Thanks John!

Thanks Mike!
Turned out very nice
Thanks Michael!
That turned out really nice. ~Jeff
Thanks Jeff! I had my doubts when I started!
Im dumbfounded by the rusults you come up with.. The end was too funny
LMAO !!!
Thanks! The project turned out better than I thought it would! I figured we could all use a laugh at the end!
@@357magdad agreed that was amazing results. I could not beleive someone put pliers on the thumb screw that irks me more than it should *LOL*
@@mercuryrising9174 That little T-bevel had a hard life!
@@357magdad i like to see well used well loved tools.. But yes i cannot imagine the jobs that little guy has seen !!!
Thank again ! Great job and educational.
Thanks Brien!
Nice work!! That came out better than I was expecting...considering what you started out with...lil Magdad Magic going on :]
Thanks D&R! I get a kick out of working on the basket cases!
Nice job.
Thank you!
I enjoyed the video, why did you not blue the blade? I'm just wondering because I clean up tools in my shop, and I need all the advice I can get... Thank you, and say hi to Chuck, and Mrs Magdad please....
Thanks for watching Jack! Bluing is definitely an option. I think I blued the one I got from Joe's Shop:
th-cam.com/video/znZXXoWTHKk/w-d-xo.html
Yes I remember watching that video.. thank you just making sure I didn't miss anything
Thank you Sir. I needed this. Have Corona on the brain!
Thanks GAE! I figured we could all use a laugh!
I think a kind of over stain might have worked better on the wood. Also you could have used an epoxy mixed with sawdust to inject into the holes in it. It would have made it stronger too. There are treatments to kill said beetles too.
Thanks for the suggestions! I was gonna fill the holes, but I thought they looked cool.
Social distance on steroids... Glad to see your priorities are right 👍
Thanks David!
Can you spare a square? 😂👍
If it gets bad I may have to repossess that square of TP!
You have a Flitz addiction. Lol
I'm a Flitz-a-holic!!
For the bugs, you can freeze, or bake in the oven....160 °F for 45 minutes.
A couple people mentioned the freezer. I have a feeling these beetles are long gone!
@@357magdad I think so too. Occasionally I have to deal with them when restoring old organs or pianos.
Just so you will know, in your honor, I purchased to hernia sized 5.29 oz. tube of FLITZ!
Now you can Flitzit too!
Nice job, but you didn't show how you restored the used TP.
I Flitzed it!
Lol quarantined
I wonder if I'll find bugs crawling around inside that bag.
Put them in front of a tiny firing squad.
Mrdoeboy356 youve gotta be with me that something alot larger is going on..
Definitely brother. While the cats away.
@@MrDoeboy356 yes indeed !!
🤣👍
